>> i changed my mind at the first election of president obama. i really -- i first started by supporting hillary clinton because i liked her. i respect her. i know she's a fabulous woman and there's a difference between being an old female and being a woman and she's a woman, so i supported her. when some of the democrats called me and asked me to ask her to step down, and i said no, and i'd make a good friend and i told her if she wanted to run for something, i'd support her. i have her back. i said if she steps down then i'll step down. when i went over after she stepped down, i went over to the obama camp and asked if you need me, if i can be of any use, please make use of me and so i -- i gave my energy and my hope, all of that to the campaign. mr. melvin, the truth is i didn't, honest to god, expect him to win. i prayed for it. i worked for it. i got up early in the morning and slept late at night, but in truth, when he -- when he took the first -- at the first election i was speechless because it means that our country is growing up, and wh

and taken together, they actually believed on election day, election night into the evening, that mitt romney was going to win. and anybody that had a counterveiling opinion, well, was either a leftist or if you're a republican actually telling the truth, you're a rhino. in the end, we were correct, that they were disconnected from the political reality of middle america. the same thing is happening again here where you've got members in the house of representatives, some democrats, some republicans, looking at this through a very old lens. they need to get new political glasses. newtown changed everything. 20 first grade children being lined up and gunned down and killed the way they were killed changed everything. the republican party and some conservative democrats haven't responded in a meaningful way since then. and so republicans really have a choice in the house of representatives. this may shock some of them, but roll the tape two years from now. they can either pass a comprehensive gun control package right now and shape it under speaker boehner, or they can wait two years whe

they lost two elections. the american people have made it clear they're not particularly interested in finding new conflicts to get into. >> that's where i think this might be headed, to those nuances down the road. when you get in the hearing room with the lights on and cameras there, sam, and a lot of heat with maybe some adversarial questions from i don't know who is going to be -- cornyn of texas, people like that, might take a shot at this guy, they'll be under pressure. if there's language about jewish lobby, we'll give you a bye on that, that could mean a particular thing rather than the general pro-israeli lobby you're talking about or whatever, but you start getting into language, the former secretary of state, the general, saying you can't accuse a guy of being anti-semitic because he uses a term of art you don't like. you can't jump to the conclusion he's got an ethnic problem. my sense is these hearings are going to be very tough for hagel already. >> it could be, but on the other hand, remember,

you wrote about this not that long after the election, and the fact that in this election choice was such an important issue, and to krystal's point, it wasn't just -- the measures were outrageous, but the way they were talking about it, legitimate rape and then even recently saying that wasn't so bad, was just as bad. >> right. oh, absolutely. i mean, you know, they really did succeed in galvanizing women and focusing attention on what they've done to their own party over the years. you know, i really think we have to remember that george h.w. bush was a contributor to planned parenthood and sponsored birth control legislation when he was in congress. leading figures in the republican party used to be pro-choice and certainly pro-contraception so there's been a gradual takeover of the party. some of it has been quiet, some of it has been quite obvious, but this is the year when they felt emboldened to come out and tell us what they thought about rape and personhood and violence against women and they were rebuked for it. they're going to spend a lot of time changing their language,
